Why stabilize rhymes the way it does
To understand why stabilize rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the full-throated /aษช/, written /i/ โ and the ending, which ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 308 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 429, assonance 3,494, and consonance 1043. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Stabilize rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
